Ingredients
- 6 oz cola
- 1 oz grenadine
- Maraschino cherry for garnish
- Ice
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 6 oz of cola, 1 oz of grenadine, a maraschino cherry for garnish, and ice.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill the drink effectively. You can use crushed ice or regular ice cubes based on your preference.
- Pour 6 oz of cola over the ice in the glass, allowing it to fill the glass about three-quarters full.
- Slowly add 1 oz of grenadine to the glass. The grenadine will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful gradient effect.
- Gently stir the drink with a spoon or straw to combine the flavors slightly, but be careful not to disturb the layered effect too much.
- Finally, garnish your Roy Rogers drink mocktail with a maraschino cherry placed on top or skewered on a cocktail pick for an elegant touch.
- Your refreshing Roy Rogers drink mocktail is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately and savor the delightful flavors.
Tips
- Use high-quality cola for the best flavor - premium brands can make a significant difference in taste.
- For a more dramatic layered effect, pour the grenadine slowly over the back of a spoon to help it sink smoothly.
- Chill your glass beforehand for an extra-cool drinking experience.
- Choose bright red, plump maraschino cherries for a picture-perfect garnish.
- Experiment with different cola brands to find your personal favorite combination.
- For a fun twist, try using flavored grenadine or adding a splash of fresh lime juice.
- Use clear ice cubes if possible to showcase the beautiful color gradient of the mocktail.
